About Cole & Charisma:
Welcome to the official Roll with Cole & Charisma KZbin channel! Since the start of our relationship we've gotten a lot of questions about our experiences as not only an interracial couple, but an interabled one as well. On this channel you can catch us doing travel and adventure vlogs, challenges, our inclusion series, couple first times, music, and so much more! We started this vlog to bring people into our lives, to answer some questions about how we navigate the world, and hopefully raise awareness surrounding accessibility and dating in a wheelchair. You'll quickly see in our episodes that we're all about inclusion and keeping a great attitude no matter your circumstances, so if that's what you're into, you're in the right place!

[@kandykills7]

Cole and charisma both had INCREDIBLE hair days in this vid 😍

[@marybethbalthazor8654]

Love Charisma's natural hair and Cole's longer fuller hair

[@Usapatriette]

Nice look, both Cole and Charisma. Charisma’s natural hair seems full and healthy, although black hair is not bouncy and springy like that in its natural state. What products make it curl and bounce?

[@sandraatkins2539]

Yes, but who wears kakhi pants as a White House guest. It looks so inappropriate. They spend tons of money on frivolous items. They should have spent money on a suit. We are rather surprised at Charisma for allowing this tacky move.

[@colebrown9416]

I hope that positive change continues to grow! Thank yall for helping people stay informed and up to date on things that are going on 😊

[@AparecidaAmaral-j2w]

It's very sad know that people are forced to get divorce in orde to have the right to health services, especially considering that these people live in the largest economy in the world. Fortunately, this beautiful couple is makingg a differece, with their positive way, to make things better.

[@maryolmstead3183]

I like all your hairstyles, Charisma.

[@beverlydust5381]

As a disabled person I have experienced similar issues to what you are talking about, but it is good that you are bringing awareness of these issues to the public.

[@welheminahkgokgutsebane9635]

You are classified as a special person not a disabled person.

[@beverlydust5381]

@welheminahkgokgutsebane9635 I am not a special person or special needs person, which is what I think you mean, but none the less, I am a person who has a disability therefore I am disabled, I am not ashamed of it I was born this way, just like a person who has a certain eye color or hair color I am who am. If you don't like it to bad. I'm not going to be politically correct when referring to myself. I have lived long enough to be referred by society as handicapped, developmentally disabled, physically challenged person , a special needs person, disabled, and now your telling me that I should refer to myself as a special person .I define who I am and how I want to be referred to it's my own life and choice.

[@aliciayearell9875]

This is cool ! I remember u going last year You two look so good! Very handsome Cole and you Charisma are beautiful as usual my Dear!

[@brendagiles359]

Cole you are sooo handsome and Charisma you are beautiful ❤❤

[@MarajiaJones]

You both look great🎉! Love the wash n go Charisma 💕. Always enjoy your videos and what you bring to the disabled community😊

[@taylor3950]

You’re such a cute couple! Your hair and clothes are absolutely gorgeous. Glad you came back to DC in time for some better weather, thanks for showing the grounds and some of the speech!

[@nataliekubus1041]

The marriage inequality with disabled people is definitely a huge issue and needs to change. My husband lost his SSI and only receives $700 a month from SSD when we got married in 2013. He's been on disability since he was 19 and is 44 now. We would be homeless without the privilege of help from family.

[@ednanelson1897]

Airlines have todo better with wheelchairs. I don't think they know how much they cost. If they have to start replacing them, I bet they'll learn how to handle them more carefully.

[@Imbatmn57]

Im so glad i live near a train station, feel like the Marc/Amtrak are alot better at accommodating wheelchairs. Its getting out of the stations in dc which is the worst, because when i went, theres no way to make sure the elevators are working, they really need to put more elevators in stations. I haven't been there in a while so i don't know if its gotten better. Im not disabled but ive had to travel to drop off my brother's wheelchair and once i went with my mother that has trouble walking for long periods without her chair.

[@christineshen8358]

It sucks that some employers do the bare minimum. I hope to find a company someday that goes above and beyond - that would be awesome! I love your hair Charisma! Cole - so happy to hear that all was well this time around in terms of no overheating. Thank you for everything you do as advocates for the disability community.

[@specialk.cooper123]

The "GREED" in this country is real. It's so soo sad money comes before life. Praise Jesus He knows.

[@colleengibson9707]

I can relate to your employment and social security/medicaid issues. I can't get medicaid due to my husband's income. We have been together for 28 years and I worked for 38 years. Now that my disability has worsened, I rely on SSDI. My only insurance is Medicare. We struggle every month, but I could not imagine divorcing my husband.🤷‍♀️

[@Holisticallycarol]

Awesome opportunities for you guys and i couldnt be happier for you two.

[@susanlevine779]

I hope the next time you go to the White House, Kamala Harris will be president!

[@ednahoogewind5700]

Having her.for president makes me feel sick at.the thought of it. ugh!!

[@i95em]

Amen💙💙💙💙

[@gaylecheung3087]

Love your hair Charisma

[@coleandcharisma]

Thank you! 🥰🥰

[@dreamingmusicgal]

Thanks get going and help fight for all of us that live with any type of physical health issue and on SSA, SSDI and yes even VA Pension for widows/widowers that's on disability because it effects our benefits the same. I'm learning this the hard way. After being approved for it in 2016 they have now decided I make to much money on my disability(680ish) a month to get it AND they want me to pay it all back now. Please keep in mind they knew I was on disability and it was the only way I qualified to get it being a disabled widow of a war vet. The PACT is good but it didn't go far enough to help protect us.

[@MariniFacey]

OMG! YES Charisma, your hair is stunningly beautiful! Thank you Cole and Charisma for sharing your travels, etc! Awe, you both look so classy and sassy Cole!

[@candisbar524]

Ps Cole, very handsome. You both look great!

[@judyanntolliver9921]

Love Cole hair lately love you both ❤❤

[@ednanelson1897]

I noticed too. It looks really nice. It's a little more wavy.

[@coleandcharisma]

Thank you!

[@marybethbalthazor8654]

Charisma looks beautiful and Cole so handsome...love his hair linger and fuller

[@maryolmstead3183]

I really enjoyed your conversation about ADA and the experience of people with disabilities in America. I am a school social worker and I worked with students with disabilities. My heart went out to them and their families. We don't have that program anymore. I wonder where all those kids with those needs go now.

[@kavitadeva]

THERE IS NO GOOD REASON WHY AIRLINES CANNOT CREATE A REDESIGN TO ACCOMMODATE THE ACTUAL WHEELCHAIR THE DISABLED PERSON USES. NO EXCUSES ARE GOOD.

[@linebrunelle1004]

there are designs for wheelchairs in the works. However, it's years in the future

[@Lady.Fern.]

Amanda looked so classy with her purse on her knee, never seen it before and instantly loved it!

[@i95em]

I noticed that too. So pretty

[@DebraTondu]

what a stunning couple the two of you are! And the work you are doing to further the possibilities for people with disabilities is so important! I always love to see you guys hanging out with Shane and Hannah....so much natural chemistry! All of you doing good things for the world! 💙💓💙💓

[@RianShafer]

LOVE the wash and go hair Charisma! Your curls are perfect! The bow tie was pretty snazzy Cole. How fun to have another couple to go places with, Love Shane & Hannah too! Nothing more comforting than snipers on the roof eh? I love how where ever you go you are promoting having access for W/C users.

[@julievanderleest]

Dang you guys are really going places! Love how no matter what you push forward. Still much work to be done for the disabled community in our country. I have been to places where handicapped parking is so far from the door. People abuse it and park in them illegally or there’s no blue parking or ramps at all. I was in a wheelchair for over 3 years and I hate to admit it but it took that for me to realize that there’s such a problem with accessibility. I can walk again but I still struggle with steps and standing for long without a wall off railing to lean on. I use the blue parking but I hate dealing with the abusers and those places where the parking is far away.

[@janet905]

I didn’t realize Cole has curly hair - I love it!!

[@coleandcharisma]

Thank you!

[@kathleenrose7998]

Always looking forward to your vlogs ❤🎉🎉😊

[@graco79]

Very true, discrimination against visible disabilities absolutely still happens in hiring which is frustrating.

[@ehenry484]

Charisma love seeing your youthful face. I think you were getting a little too thin. Love you both ❤🇦🇬🇱🇷

[@slimshadyshady510]

Love the video and the wash& go is on point from Motown

[@DeniseSterling-g4w]

Thank you for continuing to advocate and fight for all handicapped people. Denise

[@joanndibiase1929]

😊I love your curls!

[@coleandcharisma]

Thank you!!

[@cerseilannister9263]

I love Charismas sunglasses!

[@saleemahfareed4495]

I really enjoyed the video the White House is beautiful and Washington is a beautiful state everyone looks beautiful and handsome thanks for sharing, ps for Cole how about a neck fan that should help, 💜💜💜💙💙💙😊

[@emp556]

In a BIG picture, the USA 🇺🇸 needs to do much better with Disabilities, mental health, and GUN violence. This vote really counts to make this change, too. Young people like yourselves have the way to a better future, and I thank you both!

[@carollefevre9643]

Thank you for your information about the ADA act. I had no idea of the challenges interabled people face in regards to marriage inequality. I have only recently discovered your channel and am so glad I did. I have learned so much from you. You are both beautiful souls. I am an 80 year old woman from Winchester, VA. My wife died 10 years ago so I am always looking for ways occupy my time and learn things while doing so. Thank you.❤️

[@rogermcmillan264]

I remember when you guys went to this event the last time

[@asumm77]

First off, I want to say Charisma, your hair is gorgeous. I love the natural look. You have such beautiful hair. I honestly agree with everything ya'll are saying about the ADA. We have experience the marriage and work ya'll are talking about. We have never been blessed as ya'll to be able to fly and go places. I also think if we ever were this would scare me. I would be really scared if my husbands wheelchair was broken. I'm not going to try to type out about the experiences we have had with the marriage, insurance and work because when I tried to on one of your Instagram it fact checked me as saying I wasn't giving facts or trying to gain views. I don't know why it did me that way because I was actually sharing a true story of what happened to us since we have been married for 22 years. It was all true information. So now I feel like they don't want us to share our stories. I'm not sure why it did that because I would never try to lie or gain views. That was a crazy experience that I had because I have always tried to raise awareness from our point of view when ever I see post or in general on my on post. I had told my husband and he was like they do that sometimes but I had never experienced it. Anyway, my husband was paralyzed 31 years ago and alot of stuff we learned as we went because there was no information out there back then. Like when we got married and learned about the SSI. I love how ya'll are raising awareness for this because so many people may not realize this that are newly disabled. Thank ya'll for always raising awareness and I hope to one day see more change as well. I have seen some changes through the years but it's still has a ways to go.

[@maggiemacha5552]

Thank you for attending the White House ADA event and sharing some of the important highlights with us! That is so awesome that there is a photo of you all posted somewhere in the White House! I love you hair natural Charisma! Enjoy the rest of your trip! Much love to you both and Sophie girl ❤

[@madworld5511]

The Johnson Family from KZbin recommended Alaska Airline They have been very accommodating to their daughter needs The flight attendants research her needs before every flight

[@oxthompsonxo]

Cole is aging very well! Cutie

[@lurodriguez1836]

Ya quisiera yo ser tan vieja cómo Cole. Son muy jovenes aún❤❤

[@lettiegrant9447]

He's not an old man.

[@sharlenepage1572]

Thank you for bringing awareness to things like getting to the restroom on a plane. Unless you are handicapped you don't think about it 😢

[@EternalLoveAnkh]

How do you get invited to stuff like this? I would love to be involved like you are. Please let me know. I mean I worked for an organization for people with disabilities for 10 years and I have published 3 books on self empowerment. RJ

[@brendarobinson76]

Happy Sunday guys

[@CeceliaDavis-f2h]

Hello their I must say you guys look so nice and I really love Cole's hair it looks so nice being full like that.

[@zbagz01]

Hey C & C - I'm a DC tour guide - wish I was downtown today to see ya! How about tomorrow?

[@bettyfreeman9253]

That was very informative! Thank you!

[@YesWeWillchooseWisely]

Everyone look so nice. Love Charisma's hair. Stay safe and well.

[@coleandcharisma]

Thank you!!

[@merialusher5890]

I wish u would go after election so it’s cooler an not never mind

[@julievanderleest]

I agree that they should hold this event where the weather isn’t so hot. Heat is very dangerous for many people who have various disabilities. November might be too cold though. Mid October would probably be better.

[@ednanelson1897]

September is ADA month. That's why they hold then.

[@imscanon]

As far as new planes having accessible bathrooms, while it's a great thing, considering the QUALITY of the new planes these days, I don't know that I'd want to even fly on one. If there's a problem and a hidden door flies off as seems to be happening, HOW does Cole get off that plane? Can he get TO and DOWN that inflatable slide? Older planes seem to be safer. Hannah can just carry Shane, but Cole is a full size dude and then some. Thoughts? And it's great if an airline replaces a broken chair, but for people like Shane, for instance, it took YEARS for them to even get their new chair to actually be comfortable for him so what is the compensation for that? Does a disabled person need to be potentially bedridden for a year or two until a new chair can be obtained and fitted properly? That's a pretty dang huge problem for them that airlines NEED to be more aware of. It's not a suitcase that's easily replaced, it's their legs and arms and sometimes their voice and access to the world. In some cases, it carries with it the very equipment needed to even keep them alive.

[@gabriellejohnson7324]

I'm disabled. I lost my State insurance when I got married. My husband was working as a courtesy clerk at a large grocery store. He was maxed out on raises and only getting CoL. Luckily, I was able to get on his ins but the copays about killed us. Now he's retired and we had to buy a secondary ins bc Medicare doesn't cover enough. I still have meds that cost me over $800/month. Luckily, my $1,600/mon med, I'm able to get through the med company.

[@julesw66]

My favourite KZbin couple, Charisma, always beautiful, love both your hair styles, Cole looking more and more handsome. Being from the UK our disability rights( yes I'm disabled) and health service are completely different, being much better. Hopefully for disabled Americans it gets better for you too. Im learning a lot about what disabled Americans have to go through from you.

[@Crazygal1974]

My name is Manyvone Champavannarath and I live in Florida. I have cerebral palsy and I am in a wheelchair. I am self advocate myself. I love watching your videos on KZbin. I just got done watching the video of you guys visiting the White House. There are so many things that need to change like the amount of disability check!!!! This year is 2024, and the disability checks are under $1000 a month. That’s not enough to live on.

[@VulcanOnWheels]

1:10 *rewinds to check if he heard that right* 9:18 Cole and Charisma, Shane and Hannah, and We Are Steijlen?! This made me wonder how many others would appear in this video. 12:09 As a wheelchair user, I know how challenging Grace can be. 13:52 In the same shot as VP Harris?? 😲 Thanks to the six of you for devoting attention to the ADA! Well, I have actually only seen you two and there's no video from the other couples in my notification.

[@JA-tp1zr]

Loved this! Cole and Charisma you both looked really good. What a handsome couple you are and loving your hair Charisma, plus Cole’s hair and new beard…..wow! So enjoy your videos & happy that this time around you weren’t troubled by excessive heat. ❤

[@imscanon]

What WAS that gorgeous bubbling drink??? How was it so bubbly?

[@outofmanyweareone6429]

Great seeing you you have inspired so many people 🖤💚💛you look handsome, you all looked beautiful💙💙💙💙one love

[@Janknitz1]

To learn about the history of the ADA watch the documentary “Crip Camp”. Important lesson in public activism.

[@MiiWhisper2]

It's refreshing hearing and watching how both of you have matured and evolved. Charisma you've becoming more beautiful and Cole so handsome. I've watched since the posting of Coles accident video all the years ago!!!!!! I love your advocacy. Thank you for sharing your lifes and journeys .

[@djmedouble]

Cole is looking extra yummy out by the river! Charisma is always a natural beauty as well. Keep doing big things guys! So proud of you! ❤

[@patriciarobinson5172]

Great information as always we look forward to hearing your insights and experiences 👏🏽👊🏽👏🏽👊🏽 you guys are looking great together ❤❤

[@justjackie3792]

This is such truth. I’ve experienced this struggle for so long. I always say I can’t afford to work. With my disabilities I can’t work enough to fully support myself but I can’t only work part time because it’s just the right amount to kick me off off my recourses but with out the resources I can’t afford to live on my own with medical expenses and everything.

[@toyajohnson9556]

OMG y'all both look so amazing ❤❤❤... yeeesssss charisma I love the wash & go those curls are beautiful...I love watching y'all just seeing y'all look into each other's eyes & the beautiful smile make me still believe in true love ...thank you for sharing this vlog with us bc this is very much important & Im happy y'all are putting this out there for the world to see

[@marya9468]

You guys are so cute together. I love you both..Always a pleasure watching you.💕💕💕💕🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷

[@thecoolkidz101]

Okay- certainly not anywhere close to important relating to this video; but Cole and Charisma, you both look stunning during the debrief/recap portion of the video. Hot damn.

[@emmazelles9082]

Hi Cole and Charisma! I am a case manager for MN disability benefits and something that I think able-bodied people need to know more about is what “benefits” are. So many people see the word benefits as something that is not necessary for survival- sort of as an upgrade. Please say more about what benefits are, and how the laws keeping disabled people from getting married are really laws saying “if you get married you can’t have the life-giving care you need to survive.”

[@JaneHead-yy6om]

Another thing that needs changing in my opinion is when someone leaves you an inheritance. This happened to me. I received a savings bond from a great aunt that did not know the rules of SSI and Medicaid. I ended up having to cash out the bond early because it wasn't enough to live on long term and I would have to reapply for everything if I didn't spend it and get rid of it. I also ended up having to repay SSI over $2000. I wasn't even allowed to put it in an ABLE account. I did spend it by going to Hawaii but still I am not so sure my great aunt would have wanted me to do that.

[@GlendaWaterson]

C&C always so happy making the most of every opportunity You make everything seem so exciting and fun There is never a dull moment in your lives, you are really living your best lives and enjoying it I just love you guys ❤🎉

[@elizabethbuckelew9314]

They both look great! Love Charisma's sunglasses.💞

[@edithmihertab2262]

You guys are so cute ❤❤ God bless you 🙏 and tha thank you for sharing the White House ADA event ,happy anniversary ❤

[@lettiegrant9447]

I love your hair Charisma. And I'm happy to see you without the braids. They were destroying your own hair.Your hair is thick and pretty and you want to keep it.👍😊

[@Dr.K-l8p]

Thank you for bringing awareness to the ADA. Charisma, your hair is beautiful and getting long! ❤

[@absatwell8163]

Look into a Medishare program. No insurance and procedures sometimes are less expensive because it’s basically out of pocket.

[@melbaalexander9475]

Charisma are you glad to be home? I am from Texas always glad when I go their to visit Little sad when it time to go home I enjoy my family too I see you too are a family person Hope you both are having a great time and relaxing some. Blessing

[@radiumlyte]

have you guys watched the bodyguard with Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner? I think you two would enjoy it.

[@Hall-n3d]

Charisma your curls are to die for! Please do it more often ❤ you guys are so beautiful and handsome! Hello Shane and Hanna! I’m proud of you of all of you good looking kind talented people!

[@CactusJack252]

I wish I knew ya'll were coming to DC. I'm a contractor not to far away from the white house. I could have given ya'll a tour of where I work.

[@monicaseaton9794]

LOL. great video guys. Can't wait to see next year's! And Stay Positive! ❤

[@bhenryvlogs]

Do you know when they are going to start allowing us wheelchair users to stay in our wheelchairs on planes? This will make flying so much easier. I can't wait.

[@WhatAdrianneThinks]

You guys look great another awesome video 😊 Cole love your hair and beard looking sharp! Charisma love the hair! ❤

[@ladyalexm1339]

We need universal healthcare, This govt can provide this to us but chooses to spend money for war.

[@jowilliams2323]

You looked fabulous, and your information was so valuable. Thank you ❤❤❤

[@berthagreen1620]

Nice to see you guys again. You both looked amazing for your time at the White House.

[@debrarogers4243]

I wish there was a way that married couples could still drawl ssi when the wife had been a stay at home mom and not worked enough credits in. I'm having to get a divorce because we can't make it on just his income.

[@JenD.]

You two look so sharp! Cole looks so good in that blue jacket & I’m loving how his hair is growing out.

[@TheMrTDrain]

John Oliver just did a segment on this last week. Might be worth a watch

[@janicemichaloski5292]

Charisma your hair looks beautiful ❤oh and Cole don't worry your hair always looks great too😊

[@claudiaferguson5829]

Enjoy yourselves, and take it easy after all we only have one life to live…😊 so live it up guys ✌🏽

[@sireeshak1979]

Aww man! Wish I knew y'all were in town! Would have loved to meet you ❤😢😊

[@NateModder]

I am in a power chair. My issue with the prototype of plane seats for chairs is are the feds going to supplement delta for the space needed to fit in a chair space? Playing devils advocate

[@donnag.3611]

So good to see the both of you celebrating! Cole you look very handsome in longer hair...it would be nice to see how you look as you continue to grow your hair!

[@GS-kv3zy]

Love your videos but you said you were going to have a Q and A with Coles parents. When are you going to do that❤

[@Imbatmn57]

2:12 i put off too much heat and need it cooler when im sleeping, if i ever get a partner, we're getting separate beds, and bedrooms 😂.

[@VidetteMonj456]

So glad you are addressing all these things, because disabled people deserve to get help with, love you too!

[@shirleyhardnett6067]

Beautiful lovely couple. I love watching your video

[@Janknitz1]

Love those natural curls, Charisma! You are so beautiful.
